Invention of Letters

According to Wiki:

The invention of letters was preceded by the West Semitic script, which appeared in Canaan around 1000 BC. Antecedents are suspected in the Proto-Canaanite writing, dated to around 1800 BC. Virtually all alphabets have their ultimate origins from this system. The Greek alphabet, invented around 800 BC, was the first true alphabet, assigning letters not only to consonants, but also to vowels.
